Headed to Hilton Head

We leave tomorrow for Hilton Head! My parents went there on their honeymoon and decided to buy a timeshare. So they/we have gone every summer since!

Here is my first summer in Hilton Head

The next summer in HH

Our yearly picture tradition!

Hilton Head is my favorite beach just because of the memories we have there. Like the time that my friends and I had a prank war with my brother and his friends. I still say the best prank was when we got all of the cell phones and set alarms starting at 5am, then 5:02, 5:04, 5:06, etc. We hid them in the boys' room, like under the bed, in drawers, behind the headboard (which one of them ripped off the wall to find it!). Classic. Or the time that my friends and I went to teen night at Monkey Business, a local club. We were probably the only white people in there, and the night ended with me dancing on the stage, doing the most white-girl dance moves you have ever seen. The club was chanting "GO WHITE GIRL! GO WHITE GIRL! GO WHITE GIRL!" Honestly, one of the greatest moments of my life! It was like Charlie's Angels all over again.

We stay at the Island Club, and I love everything about it! My favorite activity there has always been crabbing. My dad takes us to this inlet (I think that's what it is?) and we put these huge chicken wings on a big hook attached to a long string. Then you throw it in the water and pull it back really, really slowly. You watch for the string to move to see if there is a crab pulling on the chicken, and just when you can see where the chicken is in the water, you take a huge net and try to net the crab! We always put the crabs in a bucket and then at the end, we let them go and have a "crab race."

This is Doug's first time to Hilton Head, and I am SO excited to show him the wonder that is Hilton Head! I have always raved about crabbing, so I think he is pretty excited to go. We are also going to see Toy Story 3! Sadly, he has to go back to work on Tuesday, so he will only be there for a few days. We have to cram everything in so he gets a true Hilton Head experience!
